It’s official, celebrities are trading in their blazers for kimonos. Hailing from Asia, the cocoon silhouette has been spotted on a bevy of street style regulars. Take Kendall Jenner, who was seen wearing a printed duster rendition of the throw-on-and-go piece that elevated her off-duty model ensemble. The 20-year-old tied her look together with a mashup of on-trend pieces, including frayed, cropped jeans and a black, lace bralette layered over a white, midriff-baring T-shirt—a subtle nod to the underwear as outerwear movement. Meanwhile, Rihanna showed off her killer legs in a floral, belted, kimono dress signed Dolce & Gabbana. The latest A-lister to take the kimono cardigan trend out for a spin is Beyoncé. The Lemonade singer—who was recently honored with this year’s CFDA fashion icon award—played with clashing prints by way of a tropical iteration and a striped, rainbow pencil skirt. Fashion editors have been rocking the style for some time though, Style.com/Arabia’s Managing Editor Caterina Minthe—snapped by Le 21eme’s Adam Katz Sindig—was spotted during the 2016 Fashion Week season in a Stine Goya kimono paired with deep blue Seafarer jeans.
